Kat & The Kings at The Fugard Theatre

Kat & The Kings is an award-winning West End & Broadway smash hit musical created by David Kramer & Taliep Pietersen. Directed by David Kramer, the show has been running since the 1st of May 2012 at the Fugard Theatre in Cape Town, and has enjoyed nightly sold out houses and standing ovations!

My wife & I took our little niece Kirsten and her mom, Grizelda, to see Kat & The Kings on the 18th of August 2012.

This was our second time seeing the show, but it was such an awesome experience that we just had to see it again. Kirsten enjoyed the show so much, although she was a bit afraid of ‘Ballie’s’ gimmick, the skeleton dance :) . My wife managed to get us front row seats :) , so Kirsty was talking, singing, dancing & waving at everyone on the stage so much, one of the staff members came to tell us that they were picking up Kirsty’s voice on the on-stage microphones! :)

After the show, the cast were really sweet enough to pose for a few photos with Kirsten. Kirsty’s favorite was of course ‘Lucy’, who’s twirling dress caused quite an impression on her :) ! The show was absolutely fantastic, I for one thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone! We really wouldn’t mind seeing it again!

The show is currently on tour in Johannesburg at Pieter Toerien’s Montecasino Theatre from the 20th September to 18th November 2012). I hope its as huge a success as it was here in Cape Town.

Here are some of the photos from our evening!

Baptism of Callum Faure ~ 24th June, 2012

Tracy-Lee Faure, another member of the Biggs clan (My wife’s family), contacted me a few weeks before the baptism of her son, Callum, to ask if I’d be able to shoot the event.

Both Tracy & her husband, Craig, originally from Cape Town, would be traveling from Johannesburg where they live to Cape Town for a bit of a holiday, and we had a bit of difficulty confirming an exact date for the shoot, as they also wanted a family portrait shoot to be taken at the same time of the baptism. Typically, I would prefer shooting family portraits in studio, and although I have a mobile lighting setup, it’s not as effective as controlled lighting in a studio. However, looking at the results of the shoot, I must say that it didn’t come out too bad.

Of course, you’d have to say that having such a beautiful family to photograph makes it that much easier to get good shots, and the Faure family certainly have two handsome boys, adventurous Luke, big brother to little Callum, who’s baptism took place at St John Bosco church in Portlands. Then there’s mom & dad, who, as they were posing for a few photographs together, turned into a hot couple shoot :) . It’s always great to see people connect in front of the camera, and these two love birds looked the part (always reminds me of wedding photos :) ). You can tell the couple are in love, and even after all these years, sparks are still flying.

I had fun as always, thanks Tracy & Craig for choosing me to photograph your wonderful family! Hopefully we’ll see each other soon, it’s been a while since my family and I have been to Jozi, who knows…

Hope you enjoy the photos.
